Field of Dreams a marvelous place

There once was a field on Taylor Drive, that the Recreation Department helped bring alive. With donors, neighbors and all the key players to nurture, support, play and thrive.

Twenty-plus years have now passed, a new project is being pushed fast. Fancy upgrades are dangled, decision makers entangled, now Sheboygan is looking aghast.

At the eleventh hour neighbors were told, that our beloved park was going to be sold. We scrambled to meetings and official proceedings, only to be left out in the cold.

We've repeatedly asked for clarification, on why Aurora insists on this location. Aurora won't say, but they'll get their way, and the citizens are left with frustration.

Children and families play on the Field of Dreams. Our opposition written off as just screams. "You fight progress," they say. "Unethical business!" we say. And our neighborhoods succumb to the schemes.

Sheboygan needs its parks and woods. Don't fall for this bill of goods, that may never be built. Leaders should feel much guilt, at jeopardizing our neighborhoods.

City leaders, please take a stand — don't re-zone this sacred land. Field of Dreams is a prize. Please open your eyes, and see Sheboygan's green spaces are grand.
